We’ve all had our eyes fixed firmly to the MET Gala’s red carpet to dissect the fashion choices made by¬†the rich and famous, but according to Smashbox’s global pro lead artist, Lori Taylor,¬†we should be taking a close look at the beauty choices of celebs too. “Follow the red carpet; it’s where you can pick out all the wearable trends,” Taylor told MiNDFOOD. We’ve rounded up the looks that we’ll be imitating once the weekend rolls around.

We reckon if supermodel Cindy Crawford had turned up on the red carpet sans make-up she still would have wowed us. The beauty icon looked radiant with a subtle smokey eye, nude lip and super shiny tresses.

There aren't too many of us there who could pull off waist-length platinum blonde hair and wine-red lips like model Poppy Delevingne did last night.

When it comes to red carpet beauty, less if often more. Tavi Gevinson nailed the wet-look caramel eye and bold red lip combo.

Combining matte neutral shades with glistening silver isn't something we'd usually consider, but we can't get enough of Rita Ora's look. A touch of silver in the inner corner of your eyelid creates a starry gaze.

With the boundary between fashion and technology being constantly blurred both on and off the runway, it came as no surprise to many when the theme of the¬†spring exhibition¬†for the¬†Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute was announced as¬†Manus x Machina: Fashion in the Age of Technology.¬†The theme-inspired dress code for the annual gala was translated¬†into ‘tech white tie’ by American¬†Vogue¬†editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour. Sequins, silver, celestial motifs and collaborations with tech giant IBM lit up the red carpet. Take a look at our favourite looks from the evening in the gallery below.
